PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Bobby Brink scored the only goal of the shootout, beating Marcus Hogberg to the glove side on the fifth try to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday.
The loss eliminated New York from the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Tyson Foerster scored two goals in the victory - including a go-ahead goal at the 10:39 mark of the third that gave Philadelphia a 3-2 lead. Foerster now has 24 goals on the season, including five in his last two games. Jakob Pelletier added the Flyers other goal while Samuel Ersson recorded 37 saves in picking up his 22nd win of the year.
The Islanders would tie the game with just 1:01 left to play when Bo Horvat's wrist shot snuck through a maze of bodies and beat Ersson between the pads.
